Donald J. Wheeler's Seminars and Workshops

The Successful Experimentation Seminar

Making Industrial Experiments Work

Why get bogged down in mathematical theory when you only need a working knowledge of how to collect and analyze experimental data? This highly acclaimed seminar is built upon a unique approach to designed experiments. The focus is on obtaining results that are understandable, usable, and capable of being clearly communicated to others. To this end, the calculations are deliberately kept simple and comprehensible.

This course is designed for engineers, technicians, scientists, and those who need to obtain and interpret experimental results. The unique approach used in this seminar has proven to be suitable for both beginners and experts.

For over 30 years, in company after company, this class has been identified as the beginning of a successful program of experimentation. No matter how many other classes in designed experimentation you may have previously had, you will gain additional skills and knowledge from this one.

If you are part of a Six Sigma program you cannot afford to miss this seminar. Brown Belts, Black Belts, and Master Black Belts tell us they learn far more in this class than is included in traditional classes in experimental design.

Topics include:

the analysis of means

the one-way analysis of variance

Tukey's post-hoc test

using contrasts to make comparisons

orthogonal sets of contrasts

single degree-of-freedom analysis of variance

multifactor analysis of variance

analysis of variance for subgroups of size one

scree plots and normal probability plots

the analysis of messy data

fractional factorial designs

Plackett-Burman screening designs

minimizing variation while getting on target

Taguchi's approach to industrial experimentation

This seminar is a structured workshop that uses exercises to constantly reinforce the concepts and techniques. For on-site training, this seminar may be customized. In that case, you will consul with Dr. Wheeler about topics to be covered and number of days needed.
